There ia no question of substitution
of the Eecall for impeachment. Ira
peaohnient is designed for malfeasanoe
in office. The fieoall is designed for
misrepresentativeness in oflioe. The
judiciary must be independent. If is
ia indepedent of bosses, it will be in
dependent of popular majorities. If it
is not independent of bosses, then di
rect oontrol ia necessary to end the
tyranny of the bosses. But the con
stitutions nowhere say or intend that
judges shall be sovereign. That wonld
be "soleoiBm, at least in a republican
government," said Thomas Jefferson.
If the people can empower legislatures
to remove judges for malfeasanoe
without destroying judicial indepen
dence then- the people oan directly
pass, in Rooall elections, on I heir ju
dicial representatives without im
properly affeoting judioial independ
ent. Is there anyone who will al
lege that legislatures have never been
improperly influenced in the election
of United States Senators? Why,
then, may legislatures not be im
properly influenced in unseating a
judge?
President Taft roasted the people's
power movement in Massachusetts in
an address before the legislature Mon
day. He bitterly denounced what be
termed the soap box presidential pri
mary as an "open t venue for fiaud
and violence," and while diHOussing
the recall of judges he asserted that it
is impoesljlo for the people to directly
participate in all governmental func
tions. DUpatobns say that the Pros
idout partook of seven mouls during
the day. This would be stress euougb
to force any normal man to draw on
bia digestive organs instead of his
brain in defining the rights ot the pen
pie to govern themselves.
their energies to its correction and
perfention.
Mr. Hinkle's hobby, if any, is irri
gation and conntry home building.
He may, therefore, be counted for
anv measures that will promote the
itrigation of arid lauds and enoonrage
their settlement by tbiifty farmers,
and so he may be counted for better
schools, better roads, cheaper railway
and water transportation and any
rneasnre calculated to make the coun
try borne more attractive and desira
ble. Mr. Hinkle's recent election as
permanent seoretary and treasurer of
the Oregon Irrigation congress ia not
only a reward of merit to himself, but
an honor to Umatilla county. This
position will give him prestige in the
legislature in all matters pertaining to
irrigation and kindred subjeota.

A "Cougar" Hunt.
It is reported that the oitizena of
Adams participated in a congar hunt
one day recently. A oouple of young
farmers hastened to town with the
report that they had treed a large cou
gar ju a grove above town. It is said
firearms were assembled and a big
crowd went out to diapatbh the cougar
on short order. One of Dean Dudley's
big brindle hounds waa found crouob
ing in the brush and the cougar(?)
bunt terminated in disgust right there

be iutluitely improved. Instead ot
